Chapter 326: Bones in the Box
Yao Zongping and Lu Huan returned to the government office and were welcomed by the yamen runners.
"Sir, you are so amazing this time. You have solved such a difficult case!"
"Yes, this incident has spread throughout Qingzhou and all the counties and towns below, and everyone is spreading it more and more evil..."
"That's right, our Yuanhe Town has such a big face this time."
"...It's said that the witchcraft doll was harmful to people, but it turned out to be human, and it was still powerful. It was so sharp that it could be seen directly!"
...
Yao Zongping's face was hot because everyone praised him. If others didn't know, how could he not know?
This time, it was mainly thanks to Mrs. Xiao. Otherwise, let alone solving the case, I guess I wouldn't even be able to see it.
Unfortunately, the other party refused to be his master, otherwise... How good will Yuanhe Town be managed in the future?
Yao Zongping knew the right way when he went there, and he coughed: "You are thinking too much this time. They are the magistrate Nie, and I am not doing anything in fact."
Mrs. Xiao said, keep a low profile.
Besides, this time Mr. Nie is willing to give him a face? He must have taken all the credit in the end.
Forget it, it's not the first time these years. Besides, it was not him who solved the case, so Mrs. Xiao didn't care.
If he continues to pass on and waits for the rewards to get on his hair, he will be even more embarrassing.
The yamen runner was stunned: "Ah?"
Yao Zongping coughed softly, "I'll talk nonsense in the future. This time... it was done by Nie Zhizhou."
Yao Zongping gritted his teeth, gave instructions, and went back to the study with Lu Huan. When he got back, he sat there, supporting his head and sighed: "You said Mrs. Xiao, don't you find anything?"
Lu Huan slowly shook his head: "It shouldn't be."
Yao Zongping nodded, looked at the uneasiness in Lu Huan's eyes and comforted him: "Don't worry, when the third case is over, I will think of a place for them to find. Once they leave, you will go to something else.
The place hides for a while, and you will come back when things pass."
Lu Huan lowered his eyes: "But... Sir, I actually..."
Seeing that his face was wrong, Yao Zongping stood up and walked over, pressing his hands on his shoulder: "You won't want to tell her that you are... Just... I don't allow it! Who knows they are planning to do it for you.
What? You are not allowed to go! I finally saved you. If you dare to die again... I will! I will die with you!"
Yao Zongping spoke very seriously, which scared Lu Huan. He raised his head and his eyes couldn't help but turn red: "A few years... I have been implicated in you for so many years... I... I..."
"What nonsense? What are you talking about? Besides, didn't you save me back then? Okay, what a big deal? If you are really found, then I will go with you and I will yell
Everyone in the world knows that the old witch is shameless!" Yao Zongping has always spoken vulgarly, and Lu Huan will correct it on weekdays, but Lu Huan wishes to scold that person together, but unfortunately, he read this
After years of writing, the virtues of a gentleman made him unable to speak those words.
Yao Zongping saw that his face looked much better, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, we are now alone and have been dependent on each other for so many years. You can't bear to leave me alone in the future, right?"
Lu Huan had red eyes and did not say anything despairing.
On the other side, Chu Qing, Li Tianxiao and others also returned to the inn.
Tianyi and others strangely discovered that the emperor seemed to be in a particularly good mood since he came back.
I couldn't help but look at each other a few times. Could it be that Miss Chu had agreed to the emperor?
But the two of them are no different from usual, and they have never seen any intimacy.
This really made Tianyi unable to understand. However, the two letters were soon handed over to Tianyi. He looked at the place where the letter came, did not dare to delay, and knocked on the door: "Master, Madam, I am
I have something to report."
Li Tianxiao's voice came. When Tianyi came in, he saw Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao sitting at the table reading medical books, while the other was placing a short table on the soft couch and playing chess by himself. He walked over and faced him.
The people bowed separately: "Master, two letters have been sent, one of which was about Mr. Lu Huan and Lu that I asked to investigate before, and the other... was handed over by Pan Wen to Magistrate Pan."
Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao were stunned and looked at each other. Chu Qing put down the medical book, walked towards the soft couch, and sat opposite Li Tianxiao.
Li Tianxiao took the two letters handed over by Tianyi and gave one of them to Chu Qing.
Tianyi saw it inadvertently, but he didn't say anything, but there was a rippling in his heart. It seemed that the emperor and Miss Chu were indeed different.
Chu Qing was also stunned when he took it, but when he looked up and saw Li Tianxiao's reaction without any observation, as if everything was supposed to be like this. His ears inexplicably turned red, and he lowered his eyes and opened his letter.
The letter in her hand was about Lu Huan, which was still the same as the previous investigation results, and it seemed nothing unusual.
But if it was really just because Lu Huan accidentally saved Yao Zongping, who was almost burned to death when the yamen was caught fire, no matter how she thought, she felt that even if Yao Zongping was going to save Lu Huan, even if she wanted to save it, Yao Zongping would have saved Lu Huan.
What's more, the kind of importance Yao Zongping attached to Lu Huan... and the tacit understanding between the two always made Chu Qing think more easily.
"But what have you found?" Li Tianxiao's voice came over at this time.
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Nothing is different from before."
Li Tianxiao said: "Maybe we thought too much, Lu Huan...is not necessarily Hualun."
Chu Qing shook her head and nodded again, not knowing whether she had given up. "If you don't talk about this, what did Lord Pan say? Who asked the tomb to be repaired before?"
Li Tianxiao smiled and said, "It's almost time. Pan Wen will explain the matters of these days. The imprisoned merchants have been released back to their hometowns. The money they can recover is also returned as much as possible... As for the top
Who was that person? He said he had some clues and news would be coming soon."
Chu Qing then breathed a sigh of relief: "Do you do such a shameless evil thing, and you must not tolerate it."
Li Tianxiao waved his hand and asked Tian to go, comforting her: "Of course, when you find Warren and return to Beijing, I must make a good calculation with these people."
Chu Qing nodded, but I don’t know if the old fox Yao Zongping, the old fox, would honestly explain Hualun’s position after the three cases were settled.
Yao Zongping went out for a few days, and the government office squeezed out many fragmented cases. After he came back, he buried his head and started to deal with it. Chu Qing and his group became idle and began to wander around Yuanhe Town.
But when they arrived at a river this day, they found it very lively. They surrounded them three layers inside and three layers outside. They stood on a hillside and looked down.
I found several dragon boats flying out like a few feather arrows.
The people around the river were shouting and cheering.
"Rail boat racing? Today is the Dragon Boat Festival?" Li Tianxiao turned his head and went to see Chu Qing.
Chu Qing shook her head: "It's still two days away."
Tianyi went out to inquire and reported back: "Master, Madam, there will be a dragon boat race here on the Dragon Boat Festival in the next day. These are prepared first, and I guess we will practice in advance first."
Chu Qing smiled and said, "It's pretty good."
Li Tianxiao also agreed, "Although Yao Zongping is not talented, but... this Yuanhe Town is indeed well managed."
The people live and work in peace and prosperity, and only this is enough to prove that the other party is a good official.
Unfortunately, he was a treacherous old fox. It would be even better if he could tell them where Warren was.
However, the other party did not know their identity, and could not be afraid of threats and fight against Empress Dowager Liu's people for so long, which proved that the other party was a kind and righteous person. It was because they agreed to the other party's request for three cases and did not force him.
He said it, but let him speak it willingly.
Chu Qing, Li Tianxiao and others looked at it for a while. The river was not big and it was very hot. They looked at it for a while and then planned to leave.
However, at this moment, the people near the surrounding area suddenly became lively and surrounded by a place.
Chu Qing, Li Tianxiao and others stood on the hillside, but they could see clearly that these people found a box, probably floating up from the river. These people surrounded the box, and seemed to be curious about why there was such a box in the river.
?
Those who are brave will pull the rope around the box that has been corroded and almost broken, and then they will open the box.
Chu Qing frowned, for some reason, always feeling that the box was so weird and tight.
Who would throw such a box in the river for no reason? If it fell down from the upstream accidentally, why would it tie a rope?
She squinted her eyes and watched the people start to move the boxes to the river bank. However, the boxes seemed very heavy, and it was only a few big men who could barely move them up.
Chu Qing didn't know what he thought of, and his face changed slightly: "Tianyi, go to the yamen to find Lord Yao quickly, and then he said there was a case."
After saying that, he started walking down with Li Tianxiao who also realized something.
They were not walking slowly, but they couldn't stop these people from being curious. After they had already moved the box up, they couldn't wait to open it.
The lock had been corrosive and broke with a stone. When Chu Qing, Li Tianxiao and others squeezed out the crowd and walked over, the man in charge had already opened the box, but when he saw what was inside, he heard a few sounds.
When the scream sounded, the man who opened the box first was so scared that he squatted in the puddle, trembling all over.
I saw that there was a white bone lying in the box, with countless stones pressed on it, densely packed with terrifying skulls looking at him, scaring him so much that he got up and ran up the river.
Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao quickly stepped forward and covered the box.
"Don't panic, Lord Yao is already on the road." Chu Qing saw that everyone was so scared that they hid back frequently, for fear of causing panic, so he comforted him.
When everyone heard that Lord Yao was relieved.
